  1. I had assumed that the motor was a 215 of the kind installed in 1963 and 1964 Buick Specials and Wildcats. They appeared in the Buick Apollo line as well. I have 3 engines that I bought throughout the years with the intention of installing one in my MGB someday. Not there yet, however.
  2. Recently acquired. I appreciate the suggestion. The previous owner used an air freshener, and now there's a pleasant scent that won't go away. My wife is very sensitive to odors and suffers from severe allergies; as a result, we must travel in our Forester on any trip longer than twenty miles. Smells Begone, which doesn't have any added smell, does assist a little. If not, I hope this helps.
  3. The fact that OM602 is a diesel engine seems evident to me. Anyway, I appreciate the feedback.
  4. Hi All! My W124 has an OM602 engine, and it's giving me some trouble. From zero, oil pressure takes around 8 seconds to reach operating temperature. As long as the oil pressure is maintained, the engine may be operated normally. I have hypothesized that the issue is a faulty non return valve in the filter housing. I got fortunate and found a new old stock valve; these are no longer sold by the dealer and I had to replace it along with the spring. The issue has not been resolved, unfortunately. We see no progress. I have no idea where to start looking. There is apparently another valve in the block that maintains lubricating system pressure. Can someone provide a hand with this? Definitely appreciate it. Embedded video demonstrating the issue is below.
  5. I like the appearance of the MK5, but I'm not positive if I'll purchase one when my MK4.5 dies. If I did, it would be one of the more recent 8-speed(?) automatics.
  6. I have just received a response from David Walker, the director of Hyundai UK. He informed me that he will investigate the fuel consumption issue.
  7. The option does not concern me since it is so unusual for me to purchase a quantity of tires in the double digits, much alone the single digits. My opinions haven't changed much over the years; I'll always put new tires on the drive axle (provided they aren't ditchfinders), and I'd never want a 4WD to have varying tyre depths anyhow, so it doesn't matter to me where I place the new ones on the other wheels. This isn't some driving god self-delusional thing, but, the majority of us who know our cars and understand how to operate them have the greatest ability to make such decisions for ourselves. I know that the official position is new to the rear, but as with everything else these days, a single size has to fit all, and it's perpetually centered on those who haven't a clue (which is one of the numerous reasons why our businesses, mine included, have gone around the U bend). In real-world situations, most FWD automobiles have a propensity to plough straight on, also known as understeering. I don't know about you guys, but I'm a lot happier attempting to correct an overturn than I am realizing the front wheels are no longer doing anything, which is a situation that is very tough to remedy in time. There isn't a single person in the world who bats an eye when a vehicle with staggered wheels requires a new set of tires; does this mean they are immune to grip issues? What I don't understand is why so many people choose cars with hugely wide tyres, which requires weight along with decent tread to shift a great deal of water, nonetheless so many people will run their tyres down to just depth...the number of smaller luxury cars (not heavy enough?) such as lower/middle range RWD German marques often fitted with ridiculously wide elastic bands i've seen ceased up in excessive rainfall stuffed down the motorway armco throughout the years have to maneuver into the many many
  8. Good day and welcome. If you get into difficulty, we will try to help as much as possible. For practical reasons, I'm still using Windows 98 on my. In my opinion, using 95ron will provide you with safety. I'm certain you'll discover some helpful information on the X Car Link by using the site's search function.
  9. My automobile has never experienced serious misting problems. Willpower may have a point, since I do, in fact, often change out my pollen filters.
